In the spring, the mountains are full of wild machinery
dandelion
Dandelions are the most famous of the roadside wildflowers. Although its figure is short, no more than ten centimeters high, a branch of bright yellow flowers the size of a round coin, on the tender green grass like a small sun shining golden light, very conspicuous. Dandelions do not see the stem on the ground, long leaves are laid radially in clusters on the ground, and the tall flower leaf protrudes upward from the center of the leaf cluster. The small sun-like flowers that bloom at the top of the leaf are actually made up of dozens of small flowers clustered together, each with only a narrow petal. Soon after the flowers bloom, at the top of the flower leaves, they will bear white hairy fruits like small umbrellas, which look like a white hair ball the size of a ping-pong ball from a distance. After the fruit is ripe, one "small umbrella" after another breaks away from the flower leaf, like a group of small paratroopers floating with the wind.
Purple flowered ditin
Purple flowered ditin is about the size of a dandelion, and the leaves are also clustered on the ground, and the stems are not visible, but the oblong leaves are obliquely extended upwards. Its flower leaves also protrude from the leaf bushes, but are weaker and more numerous than the flower leaves of dandelions. At the top of each leaf is only a purple-blue flower that resembles a small butterfly. Each flower has 5 petals, one of which is often white and purple stripes in the middle below, and a finger-like sac is dragged behind it, which contains nectar that insects like to eat. Purple flowered diding likes to "join in the fun", often growing in pieces under the trees on the side of the road, and the flowers bloom the most in April.
Bitter vegetables
Bitter vegetables are also known as bitter hemp vegetables and rabbit vegetables. Its flowers are very similar to the flowers of dandelions, and are also composed of many small yellow flowers clustered together, each with a long strip of petals. But the flowers of bitter cabbage are smaller than those of dandelions, generally only the size of a dime coin, and the number of small flowers gathered together is also smaller, and the color is lighter. Bitter vegetables also have a bunch of leaves that grow on the ground, but when flowering, long branched stems can grow in the leaf bushes, and the height can grow to about 30 cm, so when flowering, the small yellow flowers protrude more out of the grass, and the stars sway with the wind, appearing gentle and cute.
菥蓂（xi mi）
Calamus is an annual herb, from the morphological point of view, whether it is a leaf stem or even a flower, are very similar to the cabbage, can also be edible, the whole herb can be medicated, with clear liver and eyes, clear heat diuretic and other effects, the main treatment of nephritis, endometritis.
Ground dishes
The ground-side vegetable, also known as chicken intestine grass, is an annual or biennial herb, which has a very special appearance and grows close to the ground as a whole.
